Learn how to draw simple cartoons and create ideas and stories for comic strip art! Students will learn how to create simple cartoons with pen, paper and imagination. We will learn how to create characters and a theme for a weekly strip or comic book. Students will learn how to use hand lettering as part of their art and how to drive a story with as few words and images as possible. At the end of 6 weeks artists will have a few week day black and white panels and one Sunday color panel.
